Schafschiesser
Pinball, but as a technical drawing. Schafschiesser is a western table after Game Plan's Sharpshooter (1979) - except the targets became sheep: seven sheep drop targets, drawn as a line-only engineering sheet with dimension lines, item numbers and a bill of materials. Underneath runs a fixed-step physics engine at 960 Hz.
NEW: BOT MODE. Press the BOT button (or B) and the table plays itself - watch a demo run, then hit a flipper at any moment and you take over mid-game. Bot games never enter the high score list; the bot keeps a single best score of its own, shown separately. Beat it in a game of your own and you earn the red inspection stamp: HUMAN > MACHINE, plus 25,000 bonus.
Controls: Shift left/right or arrow keys for the flippers, hold and release Space for the NEW: BOT MODE. Press the BOT button (or B) and the table plays itself - watch a demo run, then hit a flipper at any moment and you take over mid-game. Bot games never enter the high score list; the bot keeps a single best score of its own, shown separately. Beat it in a game of your own and you earn the red inspection stamp: HUMAN > MACHINE, plusplunger, up arrow to nudge (careful: TILT). Touch and gamepad work too. Public arcade-style high scores with three initials, no login.
